Whether you are considering a castle or a cottage, trusting the folks who provide you with your new home is vital. From its on-site agent to its builder, The Cottages at Mill Creek Landing in Leland is a special community where honesty, customer care and attention to quality construction result in one of the rarest ideas in real estate today: What you see is what you get.

“You really do receive what you see in the model or spec house at the stated price,” broker Emily Willetts assures. “There are no gimmicks, no tricks. The principal core value of respecting the buyers and giving them what's advertised is so critical to this builder and to us. It is such a pleasure for myself and Sandra Hall, our on-site Coldwell Banker agent, to represent Southern Homebuilders. We have such complete confidence in their work.”

Nestled just off Village Road, this happy little community is already a closely-knit neighborhood with only 8 lots left for purchase. Weekends and late afternoons find neighbors out and about, walking dogs, pushing strollers and riding bikes along quiet sidewalk-lined streets. There's a pond, picnic area and even access to picturesque Sturgeon Creek for kayaking and canoeing.

“The Cottages at Mill Creek Landing is ideal if you're looking for a quiet, peaceful, family-oriented neighborhood,” resident Crystal Striffler writes. “Our home is perfect for our little family. The sidewalks are great for walks around the pond. On evening weekends, it's nice to sit outside and just enjoy the cool night air and quiet. I feel privileged to be apart of such a beautiful part of Leland.”

With unique angled French door entries, trey ceilings, luxurious garden tubs, 36” raised double vanities and massive walk-in closets, the master bedrooms offered in all floor plan choices at The Cottages are truly impressive. “You will not find a master suite remotely like this in any other home in the 1,124 to 1,394 square foot range,” Willetts marvels. Ranging from $129,900 to $141,900, cottages also sport maintenance-free yards and one-car garages.

“The other amazing thing about The Cottages is how close we are to downtown Wilmington,” Willetts observes. “We're near grocery shopping in any direction, hospitals, all the beaches. This area also qualifies for full USDA financing for qualified buyers, and, of course, we enjoy the lower tax rate here as well.”

“What you receive here is exactly the same consistent quality lavished upon larger upscale Southern Homebuilders homes,” Willetts stresses. “Southern Homebuilders use the very same crews, same subs, and same materials. These same people have worked with them for years. They have simply never sacrificed quality or cut corners. I have never once had a single bad walk-through in a Southern Homebuilders house,” Willetts adds. “That alone should tell you what kind of builder Southern Homebuilders is.”

It's no surprise The Cottages won gold in last year's Parade of Homes.

Come see for yourself what makes The Cottages at Mill Creek Landing one of the smartest places to purchase a new home in today's market.
